I know - those 245-width tires on the Civic are quite wide for a car of that size (if needed for traction for the power output) and the 30-section sidewall gives a little rubber band. My JSW has 225/45-17 tires on it and while not the rubber bands on the Civic, they're pretty short sidewalls for what it is.
